Students love using the IXL app, both in the classroom and at home! It’s tailor-made for tablets and phones to create an immersive learning experience that’s engaging and fun. And now, IXL’s iPad app has a new look that makes everything IXL has to offer even easier to navigate!
Let’s take a tour of the updates:
Streamlined navigation
New navigation bars at the top and bottom of the screen help students find exactly what they need more quickly.
- Practice: All skill practice is under the Practice tab, including personalized recommendations, skills for each grade level, and a new skill plans page.
- Assessment: The Diagnostic Arena now lives in the Assessment tab.
- Quizzes: Students can navigate to this new tab to take their assigned quizzes.
- Awards: Learners can view all of their awards in this tab to celebrate their achievements.
Personalized recommendations
The Recommendations wall is now under the Practice tab, but as always, personalized skill recommendations will be the first thing learners see when they open the app. This helps them jump right into skills they’re ready to work on!

Easily explore skills
To explore all IXL skills, first, tap the Practice tab on the bottom bar. Then, tap “All skills” on the top bar.
When browsing all skills, it’s easy to dive into the specific subject and grade level you’re looking for using the new dropdown filters. Or, use the search bar at the top to find a particular skill. Plus, skills suggested by teachers or parents can be found here.

Easily access pinned skill plans
Skill plans that are pinned by teachers and parents are now easier to find, with their own dedicated tab! Simply tap the “Skill plans” tab from the Practice tab.

Take quizzes on the iPad
Students can now complete IXL Quizzes on the iPad app by navigating to the Quizzes tab.
Note that Quizzes are only available for students on school memberships, and teachers cannot create quizzes on the app at this time.
Dive into the Diagnostic arena
From the Assessment tab, students can enter the Diagnostic arena at any time and answer questions to reveal their current knowledge levels. The app’s handwriting recognition feature allows students to write answers with their fingertips, no typing required.
Celebrate achievements with fun awards
Learners can see all of their math and English language arts awards directly on the app. With fun, app-only animations, it’s an easy and fun way to celebrate their accomplishments as they learn.
